Really? Loubet has already shown good progress in rally1 car. And in that video is testing a archaic fiesta in conditions he isn't used to.

If they both were in rally2 cars, I'd agree Gryazin should/could do better.

He is usually very open to local press

Positive first comments from Lappi.

Regarding the handling of the car: Let's just say that it's not quite like it was couple years ago when I went to Citroen. This is surprisingly simple (to handle).

Well that’s interesting.

Didn’t hear Tänak, Neuville and Oliver sayin that during the season….

Just just me or from this angle looks very similar to Toyotas wing?

,,It surprisingly simple..''
..on fast ,,Swedish type'' roads.
Let him try it on proper gravel or tarmac stages and then ask again..
OR
maybe his pace is a bit lower, where the i20 does feel simple and good to drive?

But when a driver has to push the very last drop out of it to win, it is far from simple or comfort..

Yeah... well, one can think that what else could he say? But imagine if they actually did repair the handling problem Ott and Thierry were talking about. For the sake of an exciting season, let's hope it's true.
